Why is the wall of ventricle thicker than the wall of auricle.

Solution

Dear Student,

Atrial wall is less muscular or less thicker than ventricle wall because atria receive blood from various parts of the body at low pressure while the ventricles have to pump blood to other parts with high pressure. Thus, is the need for the ventricle walls to be thicker than the atrial walls.
